< 1 Chronicles 18 >
1 And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and humbled them; and he took Gath and its dependent towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
Baada ya muda, Daudi akawashinda Wafilisti na kuwatiisha, naye akautwaa Gathi pamoja na vijiji vinavyouzunguka kutoka utawala wa Wafilisti.
2 And he smote Moab, and the Moabites became David's servants, bringing presents.
Pia Daudi akawashinda Wamoabu, wakawa watumishi wake, nao wakawa wanamletea ushuru.
3 David also smote Hadar'ezer the king of Zobah, at Chamath, as he went to establish his dominion at the river Euphrates.
Zaidi ya hayo, Daudi akapigana na Hadadezeri mfalme wa Soba, hadi Hamathi, wakati alikwenda kuimarisha utawala wake katika Mto Frati.
4 And David captured from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot; and David hamstringed all the chariot-teams, but reserved of them a hundred chariot-teams.
Daudi akateka magari ya vita 1,000 miongoni mwa magari yake, waendesha hayo magari ya kukokotwa na farasi 7,000 na askari wa miguu 20,000. Daudi akakata mishipa ya miguu ya nyuma ya farasi wote wakokotao magari, ila akabakiza 100.
5 And the Syrians of Damascus came to aid Hadar'ezer the king of Zobah, when David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
Waaramu wa Dameski, walipokuja kumsaidia Hadadezeri mfalme wa Soba, Daudi akawashambulia na kuwaua 22,000 miongoni mwao.
6 Then did David put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus, and the Syrians became unto David servants, bringing presents. And the Lord helped David withersoever he went.
Daudi akaweka askari walinzi katika ufalme wa Waaramu huko Dameski. Basi Waaramu wakawa watumwa wa Daudi, na kumlipa ushuru. Bwana akampa Daudi ushindi kote alipokwenda.
7 And David took the quivers of gold that were on the servants of Hadar'ezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Daudi akazitwaa ngao za dhahabu zilizokuwa za maafisa wa Hadadezeri na kuzileta Yerusalemu.
8 And from Tibchath, and from Kun, cities of Hadar'ezer, did David take exceedingly much copper; thereof made Solomon the copper sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of copper.
Kutoka miji ya Tibhathi na Kuni, iliyokuwa miji ya Hadadezeri, Daudi akatwaa shaba nyingi sana, ambayo Solomoni aliitumia kutengenezea ile Bahari ya shaba, zile nguzo na vifaa mbalimbali vya shaba.
9 And when To'u the king of Chamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadar'ezer the king of Zobah:
Tou mfalme wa Hamathi aliposikia kwamba Daudi amelishinda jeshi lote la Hadadezeri mfalme wa Soba,
10 Then did he send Hadoram his son unto king David, to ask him after his well-being, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadar'ezer, and smitten him: for Hadar'ezer had been engaged in wars with To'u; and [he had with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and copper.
akamtuma mwanawe, Hadoramu kwa Mfalme Daudi ili kumsalimu na kumpongeza kwa ushindi wake katika vita dhidi ya Mfalme Hadadezeri, kwa kuwa alikuwa amepigana vita mara nyingi na Tou. Hadoramu akamletea Daudi vifaa mbalimbali vya dhahabu, fedha na shaba.
11 Also these did king David sanctify unto the Lord, with the silver and the gold that he had carried away from all the nations, from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of 'Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from 'Amalek.
Mfalme Daudi akaviweka vifaa hivi wakfu kwa Bwana kama vile alivyokuwa amefanya kwa fedha na dhahabu aliyokuwa ameitwaa katika mataifa yote haya: Edomu na Moabu, Waamoni, Wafilisti na Waamaleki.
12 And Abshai the son of Zeruyah smote of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand [men].
Abishai mwana wa Seruya akawaua Waedomu 18,000 katika Bonde la Chumvi.
13 And he put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants unto David. And the Lord helped David withersoever he went.
Akaweka kambi za askari walinzi huko Edomu, nao Waedomu wote wakawa watumishi wa Daudi. Bwana akampa Daudi ushindi kila alipokwenda.
14 And David reigned over all Israel, and he did what is just and right unto all his people.
Daudi akatawala Israeli yote, akitenda lililo haki na sawa kwa watu wake wote.
15 And Joab the son of Zeruyah was over the army, and Jehoshaphat the son of Achilud, recorder.
Yoabu mwana wa Seruya alikuwa jemadari wa jeshi; Yehoshafati mwana wa Ahiludi alikuwa mweka kumbukumbu;
16 And Zadok the son of Achitub, and Abimelech the son of Ebyathar, were [the] priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
Sadoki mwana wa Ahitubu na Ahimeleki mwana wa Abiathari walikuwa makuhani; Shausha alikuwa mwandishi;
17 And Benayahu the son of Jehoyada' was over the Kerethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were the first at the side of the king.
naye Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada alikuwa msimamizi wa Wakerethi na Wapelethi; nao wana wa Daudi walikuwa maafisa wakuu katika utumishi wa mfalme.
